Hello

My name is Bernadette Cilia-Cooke aka "Bernie"  - Born and bred in the Sutherland Shire, I've been a Massage and Sports therapist for over 24 years. My passion for sport and the mechanics of the human body has made me a well-respected and successful Massage Therapist. Since the age of 4 years old, I played a summer and winter sport . I have always had an interest in Sport and Health which led me to study a career in Naturopathy 24 years ago. Attending Nature Care college, I realised my passion for sport and health extended to an interest in the human mechanics and my new passion was to help people feel better in body, mind and spirit, so I completed the Diploma of Remedial Massage and was recommended to then pursue a Diploma of Sports Therapies. With these qualifications I landed a job with Soccer Australia, travelling with the Junior NSW team massaging, taping and going through warmup and cool downs. But even after following my dream, I realised I still wanted to guide people to better health so I completed my Adv. Diploma of Naturopathy where after a year of travelling abroad, I opened my business in my sisters chiropractic clinic in Caringbah South in 2000 and I still remain there today. In 2021 I opened a second clinic in Helensburgh to help more people feel pain-free and move with ease.
